We are delighted to be welcoming bestselling crime author, Chris Whitaker to the shop on Wednesday 30th April at 7pm as we celebrate the paperback publication of his sweeping missing persons mystery, serial killer thriller, and an epic love story -*with a unique twist on each*, All the Colours of the Dark.

Late one summer, the town of Monta Clare is shattered by the abduction of local teenager Joseph ‘Patch’ Macauley. Nobody more so than Saint Brown, who is broken by her best friend’s disappearance. Soon, she will eat, sleep, breathe, only to find him.

But when she does: it will break her heart.

Patch lies in a pitch-black room - all alone - for days or maybe weeks. Until he feels a hand in his. Her name is Grace and, though they cannot see each other, she takes him from the darkness and paints their world with her words.

In this hopeless place, they fall in love.

But when he escapes: there is no sign she ever even existed.
To find her again, Patch charts an epic search across the country. And, to set him free, Saint will shadow his journey: on a darker path to hunt down the man who took them.

Even if finding the truth means losing each other forever...
